At the moment Dhahran, Bahrain and presumably Dammam are completely socked in with a intense shamal.
I was wondering what effect the sand has on flying operations. Do Saudi and other Gulf states operate down to CAT III and, what effect does the sand have on engines?
Vis out side is about 75 metres at the moment and appears to be getting worse.
....and my collegues think they're leaving tonight, heh, heh, heh
Thanks
